A member asked:
Will taking phentermine affect your hormones and/or thyroid function tests? i currently take phen and i'm hypothyroid so i take that medication also.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a problem: Phentermine should not cause hormonal issues and will not interfere with the medication you take for hypothyroidism. Please understand that phentermine only works while you are taking it and you must learn to change your diet and exercise patterns or the weight will come back when you stop the drug. Good luck.
